Mother and Child
A beautiful exploration of motherhood from author and photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank.
In her latest collection, author and photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank explores what motherhood looks like in the 21st century. Through stunning portraits of 70 iconic families—including names like Delfina Figueras, Carolina Herrera, Lauren Santo Domingo, Anne Vyalitsyna, Aerin Lauder, and Patti Hansen—she captures the raw emotional bond that defines the relationship between a mother and her child. Swanson Frank also includes a series of thoughtful Q&As in which her subjects reflect on what motherhood means to them. Their answers are by turns moving, funny, and deeply personal. Bound in a striking pink hardcover with elegant gold lettering, this book is a beautiful, inspiring journey (and it happens to make a lovely gift for any mother figure in your life).
